His fingers, she noticed, long and strong, were unnaturally clenched on the steering wheel. She turned away agin, facing the street. Swift ly, the roadster spun along the short time they turned off the main highway leaving the city behind. "Where ore you taking me, Juli an?" Carol asked. There was a trace of fright in her voice. "To the place' I know where we can talk," he answered her evenly. "Can't we talk here now?" "You wouldn't listen to me." said Hart calmly. "Try me and see," Carol told him with a little nervous laugh. "But would you agree with me, that's the question." he said dryly. "X dont know," Carol replied. amiting. "That would depend. He turned to lok at her. Slim and graceful she was as she sat ther beside him and he fought against the allure of her attract iveness. "Carol," he begged, "why are you doing It pretending to be what you are not?" "What do you mean?" "Pretending to be happy. A round peg in a square hole," he went on. "You do love me you told me you did and I know It anyway. Fate brought us together so why fight against what was intended." Carol moved restlessly. "Please, Julian." she pleaded. "don't, I do love you, although I've tried to deny It to myself. But you must not say It again, nor mu.it I. We must save ourselves from a life time of repentance." "Oh, Carol, you know you don't mean that," protested Hart. "Lis ten to this: 'For this Is wisdom: to love, to live. To take, what Fate, or the sods may give ." The Kirl shook her head tadlv. "No, Julian," she said. "I have re sponsibilities to which I am bound. She siRhed. "We met too late, that's the whole thing." A sound very like a groan escaped him. "You don't care enough, that's what It is." he told her gloomily. "Julian!" she cried the words sharply. "Oh. how can you say that? I I would do anything in this world for you. Anything but de sert my hasband." They were miles out of the city now ana in a lew minutes Hart had turned the roadster off the main highway and took a narrow dirt road that twisted and turned and finally landed Uiem in a nar row valley. Dusk would soon be falling and here In this sheltered spot where great fir tres shadowed the valley it already semed dark. The road narrowed, grew rougher, harder to rdlve, but the man at the wheel seemed to know evry inch of the way. At lost they drew up In front of a low rambling house and Hart pulled the brakes and brought the car to a Btop before the long ver anda. He Jumped out and walkked around to the other side and helped Carol alight. As he did so a man opened the door of the house and waited for them on the threshhold. A tall, slightly stooped man he was, with white hair and rugged fea tures. Hart merely nodded his head to the man as they entered the great room where a log fire crackled in a fireplace at one end. "Show the lady into the large room." Hart said brusquely to the man. "I'll be back In a minute.

Carol looked at herself in the mirror of the great mahogany bureau and she wondered where she was and what it was all about. She removed her hat and smoothed her brown hair, and took off her heavy fur coat. Ap plying powder to her nose from the contents of her vanity case, she studied her reflection closely. A dis creet knock at the door caused her to start nervously. "Come m, she called. The door opened slowly and Ju lian Hart entered the room. He crossed to her side and took her in his arms, hungrily, eagerly. 'Carol, he said to her soitiy, "dear little CaroL I have you to my self at last." 4 The girl responded to his caresses timidly at first, and then their lips met In a long kiss. "I brought you here, darling," Hart tlod her at last, "so that you could listen to me away from that other environment that influences you against your will. Here you will have to listen to me. She did not answer. "We vill have something to eat nownow, continued Hart, "and then we will see what we are goin to do about all this. Remember," he told her, laying a hand on her cheeck, "you're in my power now." She laughed shyly up at him. "You can't frighten me," she said. ; The tall stooped man whom Hart addressed as Bill, served them broiled steak and hot biscuits in front of the big living room fire place. They laughed and chatted guyly and Carol was entirely at her case In these strange surroundings. She loved the boyishness of the man who sat beside her and she felt a warm glow inside her when the thought came to her that this man loved her and she felt deliriously hannv and exultant. On a sofa before the crackling logs Hart held her close as he whispered in her ear. "What would you say if I told you we were not going back to night?" Carol stared at her companion, failing to understand him at first. "I don't quite know what you mean, Julian, she said to him. He looked at her anc'. laughed. Masterfully he took posessiui of both her hands and held them pris oner. "Just what I said. Carol," he- re plied easily. "We'll stay here tonight and tomorrow we'll keep on in the car to to Canada. If you will re fuse to tell Sumner about our love, we'll go without telling him." He watched her closely. "Think, Carol. Just we two together driving on and on into happiness. I can take care of you, don t worry." "Ah!" Interposed Carol, with sharp little breath, "fo that's why you bruugnt me nere. He had the grace to color. "Yes. CaroL I took that chance, hoping I might persuade you." He tilted her face upward and closed her parted lips with a kiss. She lay passive in his arms and she knew her resolutions were slip ping from her at the youths plead ings. She wanted so much to give in to go witn him ana sne piayea with the Idea, the glorious, temp ting opportunity for happiness Ho mance Her hand ci ept to the crook of his arm. She was no longer afraid. "Julian," she said at last, "I want to do what you ask more than any thing in the world. A moment ago I was ready to say 'yes.' ' She re leased herself from his embroce and sat up straight looking at him thoughtfully. "But the only way I'd do it, Julian, would be decently and honorably." IS. HrfMB II. 1 hose nho test 19.
